Mathworks RoadRunner R2023b Update 5

MathWorks unveiled Release 2023b (R2023b) Update 5 of the RoadRunner product families. RoadRunner is an interactive editor that lets you design 3D scenes for simulating and testing automated driving systems.

R2023b Update 5: Bugs Fixes

- Programmatic Support for License: Set license file programmatically using gRPC
- glTF Export: Support for embedding textures
- Programmatic RoadRunner HD Map API: Import TomTom HD Map data programmatically using gRPC
Import TomTom HD map data into RoadRunner programmatically using the Import method of the gRPC® API. You can import TomTom HD map data from the GeoPackage and Avro (format specification version 1.2.0.0 and schema version 1.1) formats. For more information, see the TomTomHdMapImportSettings message of the import_settings.proto protocol buffer file.
You must have a RoadRunner Scene Builder license to import TomTom HD map into RoadRunner.


RoadRunner is an interactive editor that lets you design 3D scenes for simulating and testing automated driving systems. You can customize roadway scenes by creating region-specific road signs and markings. You can insert signs, signals, guardrails, and road damage, as well as foliage, buildings, and other 3D models. RoadRunner provides tools for setting and configuring traffic signal timing, phases, and vehicle paths at intersections. RoadRunner supports the visualization of lidar point cloud, aerial imagery, and GIS data. You can import and export road networks using OpenDRIVE. 3D scenes built with RoadRunner can be exported in FBX, glTF, OpenFlight, OpenSceneGraph, OBJ, and USD formats. The exported scenes can be used in automated driving simulators and game engines, including CARLA, Vires VTD, NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, Baidu Apollo, Cognata, Unity, and Unreal Engine. RoadRunner Asset Library lets you quickly populate your 3D scenes with a large set of realistic and visually consistent 3D models. RoadRunner Scene Builder lets you automatically generate 3D road models from HD maps.

Integrating RoadRunner with MATLAB-Simulink


The video walks through steps that are required to connect Roadrunner and MATLAB/Simulink via Unreal Engine. You will learn how to setup the platforms and plugins required to enable a user to create a graphically detailed scene in RoadRunner, import the scene into MATLAB and Simulink using Automated Driving Toolbox's Driving Scenario Designer app and connect to Epic Games Unreal Engine to test your autonomous vehicle algorithms and simulation. This workflow enables the user to test their algorithms in a dynamic and detailed environment that can be created within minutes.
MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software. MATLAB, the language of engineers and scientists, is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation. Simulink is a block diagram environment for simulation and Model-Based Design of multidomain and embedded engineering systems. Engineers and scientists worldwide rely on these product families to accelerate the pace of discovery, innovation, and development in automotive, aerospace, electronics, financial services, biotech-pharmaceutical, and other industries. MATLAB and Simulink are also fundamental teaching and research tools in the world's universities and learning institutions. Founded in 1984, MathWorks employs more than 5000 people in 16 countries, with headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts, USA.
